Download the WinloginRemove.zip file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save Target As). Extract WinloginRemove.exe from the ZIP and run it. There is no installer or uninstaller. Simply delete the WinloginRemove.exe file to uninstall.

Click here to download Pocket Killbox by Option^Explicit. Extract it from the zip file then double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Place the following lines (complete paths) in bold in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each. Keep track of any files it tells you either could not be found or could not be deleted, as you'll need those later:

For the files that it either couldn't find or couldn't delete, in the killbox again this time, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run TheKillbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try TheKillbox again.

Don,

My original problem was not being able to get into my documents.You solved that and Ill never be able to explain how important that was for me.
Unfortunately somehow another problem developed by me not even being able to get online by way of my normal ISP.

I know you have done everything you could and I cant thank you enough for trying but im at a point of another crisis.

I work on boats,Monday I go to a boat 200 miles from home and wont be able to do anything in my life or work on my computer till I come home 8 weeks from then.I understand Im only 1 out of 80,000 or so people but I have to make a decision now.

I need my computer working whatever it takes.If this isnt going to happen ,please give me other options.Of course I dont want to turn my hard drive over to anyone but I dont see alot of options at this point.Ive been exploring this route for over a week now.I work 8 weeks at a time and have 4 weeks home.

Brian sorry for it taking me a bit to get back to you,
Lets see if we can run through this again,
First are you able to do a system restore ?
If so find a point prior to us starting, This will likely need us to clean the computer again but lets give it a shot,

Post a fresh HJT log after you have done this,
I know how important your computer is to you, and 8 weeks away from hom can be long time but if we have to wait we can continue when you get back ( hopefully it wont need to come to that)
